#diyfolder

[malteselizzie]

I followed a tutorial by @weronoyume to make a folder for my paintings. This is almost totally recycled (the only thing that I bought was elastic), made from cardboard, wallpaper, a scrap of cloth, and card. #sketchbookalternative #diyfolder https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Hwji2HNCt/?igshid=mpsmgr4aj3eo

sorry took a long time to post and sorry once again for such poor picture quality......the first pic shows the outer cover, the second pic shows the inside portion and the last pic shows the back cover....

ITEMS YOU WILL NEED:

1. A normal clip file....(I took a cardboard clip file.)

2. Satin paper

3. cellotape

4. Liquid glue(mod podge or fevicol)

5. scissors

6. printer (even some electronic device from which you will print)

7. coloured papers

8. patterned/designed papers

9. washi tape

METHOD:

1. You will take your clip file and cover it with the satin paper with the help of mod podge & cellotape (yes, you should use 2 of them for best results!)

2. Then, take two coloured papers(you can take both of the same colours or different colours like me) and stick one of them to the left flap inside the folder and the other to the right flap inside the folder.(in my case the left flap is green and the right flap is yellow.{refer to the 2nd pic})

3. then you can cut a broad strip of your patterned paper and stick it to the bottom of the folder(inside of the folder)

4. this step is optional, you can add a strip of your washi tape above the patterned paper.

5. this step is optional too, you can cut two triangles of same size out of coloured papers/ cardstock and stick them at the corners of the inner portion of the folder.(you can do it to all the 4 corners, but I did it only to the top 2.)

6. now you can see for any of your fav objects in the internet and print them out. then cut it out and stick it at the top of your folder in any position you like.(I stuck owls as I have an owl fantasy!)

your folder is ready  for use!
